This chapter provides information on the international dealings of Australian residents as reported on individual, company, partnership, trust and super fund tax returns. Australian residents are generally taxed on their worldwide income whereas non-residents are generally taxed only on their Australian-sourced income (and some specific amounts not dependent on source).

The residency tests the ATO uses to determine residency status for income tax purposes are not the same as those used by other Australian agencies. These residency tests are discussed throughout this chapter.
